November 15 Update

YAY!

You all did a great job when we performed as guests on SHC’s concert on Nov. 9! You should be PROUD of what we achieved on our first day of rehearsal!

I am looking forward to seeing you all again when we resume rehearsals in January. In the meantime, I hope your holiday season is filled with much joy and rest.


WHAT TO PRACTICE — due January 11th

There are NINE FULL WEEKS between the rehearsal we had on November 9th and our next rehearsal on January 11th. That is plenty of time to finish learning ALL of our songs. It will be easy to do this if you listen to the recordings FREQUENTLY during the nine weeks. You do not need to have everything memorized by January 11th, but you should be able to sing your voice part very confidently through every song, even if no one else is singing with you. There will be a Part Check on January 11th to see if you have learned the music well.
